Halloween Bash, Toil and Trouble for swap

 
Merjaba and Karşılama to my friends in Turkey! I'm happy you are here. How cute is that tiny spider on the word Halloween? Love it!
 
Before I forget, I have a 20-card class - all Christmas cards - this Saturday, Sept. 21, from 11-2 p.m. The cost is $20, which includes envelopes and light refreshments. I need to know by Sept. 18 (Weds.) if you and a friend plan on attending. Just email me at ericandterry@comcast.net. Thanks!
 
 
I chose to use the raven from Toil & Trouble and two stamps from the Halloween Bash set for this Halloween swap. I started with a Basic Black card and added a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Witches' Brew designer paper. I cut a few 1" strips for the flags - making sure each card had a spider on the far right flag. Of course I used a few punches (Designer Label, Oval Scallop, and 1-3/4" Circle) to make this card too.
 
You may order all of these products, along with Clearance Rack items, via my Online Store at http://therubberroom.stampinup.net. Please use this hostess code to be entered into a drawing for FREE hostess goodies - AKS76R6P.

Halloween Bash with Toil & Trouble; fold-out stool

 
 
Did you notice the Halloween recipe on the Toil & Trouble stamp set? You'd be hard-pressed to find these ingredients locally, but I'm sure they're all available on the Internet. lol
 
I created this make and take using the Toil & Trouble stamp set (which includes the big stamp I diecut using the Apothecary Accent framelit), along with Halloween Bash. The latter is very punch friendly! I used a strip of Witches Brew washi tape and a 2" x 4" piece of Modern Medley designer paper. Ink colors are Jet Black StazOn and Tangerine Tango.
 
Don't forget my August Special: Order the Tag It (Item stamp set from me by August 31 and you'll get your name entered into a drawing for the Pretty Print Textured Impressions Embossing Folder in the Holiday Catalog. I'll announce the winner on Sept. 1 AND if you use the following hostess code, you'll also be eligible to win the hostess benefits - GGQ2GJ3A.
 
 
I love the look of the old metal fold-out stools. The Yahtzee game and tackle box are sitting on the two steps. Then there's a tool box on the floor and a coffee kit for the car (it has an adaptor, spoons, mugs, EVERYTHING!) on the seat. My sister is coming over with a load of antiques today for me. I can't wait to see what she brings! It's so much fun. I hope you have a fun day too. If you'd like to follow my antique/vintage finds, please "Like" this page: http://www.facebook.com/booth6goods.
